Arches National Park

I live near Zion and Arches is totally different! I went to Arches in February and it was the perfect time. There were no crowds and the weather was perfect (upper 50s/lower 60s). The park is very spread out, so I recommend spending a few hours on multiple days visiting the different arches. Sometimes, you even have to hike several miles to visit sites. There are no places to eat inside the park, so bring a picnic or head into Moab. The Delicate Arch hike is all uphill for almost 2 miles, so be prepared. The last quarter mile is on a 4' wide path carved out of the mountainside. Small kids should definitely hold your hand. It's a little sketchy. The Arch itself is on the edge of the mountain as well. Shoes with good traction are a must! Mother Nature is amazing!

Arches National Park is absolutely breathtaking and feels like walking on another planet. The rock formations are massive, unique, and perfectly shaped by nature over millions of years. We loved visiting the Windows Section and seeing Delicate Arch from the viewpoint. The scenic drive itself is worth the visit with stunning desert landscapes at every turn. The park is well maintained and easy to navigate. Early morning light makes the red rocks glow beautifully. Every stop offers a different perspective and photo opportunity. It’s definitely one of the highlights of our Utah road trip and a must visit destination.

Arches National Park was absolutely stunning—such a beautiful and unforgettable experience. I was amazed the entire time. The landscapes and rock formations are truly incredible, and no words or pictures can fully capture how special it feels to be there. I highly recommend coming for sunrise or sunset. Not only is the lighting the most beautiful at those times, but it’s also much less crowded, and in the early morning it almost feels like you have the place to yourself.

My favorite national park that I have visited so far, It was awe inspiring. Beyond the natural features, it was also one of the best kept parks I have seen, the exhibit was amazing, and all the park rangers were super nice. Oh, and the ravens will full on pose for pictures. Can't wait to go back!

Arches National Park is absolutely incredible. We were lucky enough to make it out to see the main arch, and it was worth every step. It’s definitely a hike to get there, but once you’re standing in front of it, the view is just stunning. The scale of it in person is something pictures don’t fully capture. If you go later in the day, I highly recommend planning your timing carefully. Golden hour out there is unreal the colors on the rock are amazing but you’ll want to head back right as the sun is going down. It gets dark quickly, and the hike back isn’t something you want to do without good light. Overall, an unforgettable experience and easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited.
